Although gold has traditionally been regarded as a safe haven during times of economic uncertainty, its recent performance has aligned more closely with the fluctuations of riskier assets.

On Thursday XAUUSD experienced its most significant one-day surge in three weeks. The rally was fueled by lower-than-expected US weekly jobless claims data, which alleviated some of the prevailing fears surrounding a potential US recession.

The markets are now eagerly searching for any indicators that could alter the perceived likelihood of a recession in the United States. The trajectory of economic conditions is critical, as it will influence expectations around potential interventions by the Federal Reserve.
 

In the broader context, XAUUSD could continue its upward trajectory, potentially reaching a new record high in the near future.


This outlook is contingent on market participants' belief that the Federal Reserve will eventually implement rate cuts, which would bolster gold's appeal.
